Metabolomics, a rapidly evolving field of study, offers unprecedented insights into the intricate world of cellular metabolism. By analysing the small molecules produced during various biological processes, metabolomics enables researchers to unravel the complex network of biochemical reactions within organisms. In recent years, there have been remarkable advancements in metabolomics research and applications, driven by technological breakthroughs, improved data analysis tools, and expanded knowledge of metabolic pathways. This article explores the cuttingedge developments in metabolomics and highlights the transformative impact they have had on diverse fields, including medicine, agriculture, and environmental sciences. The advancements in metabolomics owe much to the remarkable strides made in technology. Modern instrumentation, such as Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, has revolutionized metabolite detection and identification. High-resolution MS instruments can now detect and quantify thousands of metabolites simultaneously, providing a comprehensive overview of cellular metabolism. Additionally, advancements in NMR techniques have enhanced the accuracy and reproducibility of metabolic profiling.
